Canal Replacement Project, Segment 5B

On this project, Sukut crews are unwatering the existing canal and then removing, hauling, and disposing of collected sediment. Sukut is also installing 165 dewatering wells to lower the water table to an approximate elevation of negative 18 feet to install 6,394 feet of a 10-foot diameter RCP. The dewatering system incorporates an automatic dilution system that reduces the electrical conductivity of the discharge effluent. Additionally, Sukut is constructing a temporary inlet, a 27-foot-tall concrete access structure, a 6,500-linear-foot-long access road, and performing mass grading and excavation.
